So this arrived today in the post, packed up in so much packaging the postie must have thought I was having a barbecue delivered. It is a fantastic lens and looks the part on the E-M5: In any event, I’ve been waiting for this one with bated breath. It seemed at the time of purchase …

Olympic Torch Relay – City of London
So I had spent the last however long laughing at the torch relay. I couldn’t really understand what the fuss was about. Today it hit the city and, thanks to a delay to my train (thanks First Capital Connect), I wasn’t able to make it to St Pauls in time to see the torch relay …
City of London Japan Festival 2012
Today I visited the Japan Festival in Broadgate circle. I expected it to be the usual Broadgate event (a bit silly) but nothing of the sort. The quote below explains it better than I can. “March 2011 saw Japan facing an unprecedented serious of disasters in short succession which devastated cities and towns in Tohoku, …

City of London Festival – Sardana Dance
On my way back and forth to the post office near where I work I had noticed some great (free) performances by european musicians in Broadgate circle this week. I skulked past with my E-M5 today to take some photos of Sardana Dance, a Catalonian cobla (wind ensemble) formed by eleven instruments.

Spitalfields Art
A very quick visit to the Spitalfields area at lunchtime led me to take a few snaps of the public art and an old Routemaster being used to advertise a restaurant. Thanks for looking…
Up
A quick look at the top of some of the city’s tallest buildings (and surrounds) with the E-M5 and the Oly 12mm F2
St Paul’s in the Summer Sun
Today I visited the area around St Paul’s Cathedral, the Millennium (wobbly) bridge and Tate Modern. It’s an amazing area, particularly in the sun! The only negative from all of this is that I was slightly disappointed with the output from my E-M5. I suspect I might try out something other than my Oly 12mm …

These are some photos of Finsbury square in London, immediately following the removal of the Occupy London protest that had been there for many months. I was pleased to see the …
